Next Matter offering
In Next Matter, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is not our focus. We understand Robotic Process Automation (RPA) as click or UI automation. It helps automate repetitive tasks for a single person on their screen. In Next Matter, we do end-to-end / cross-functional workflow automation across multiple teams, people, and systems. RPA can be integrated with Next Matter so that robots take care of repetitive tasks on top of legacy UI as part of a workflow. Read more on the topic in our blog.
Our standard model for our clients is cloud Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) with hosting on European servers.
We are fully prepared to offer additional deployment options to enterprise customers within our shared environment, in a dedicated environment on our servers, and on most local or third-party cloud environments of your choice.
Our team can address hosting and deployment questions with you in greater detail at any time. Please address your questions to: support@nextmatter.com.
Automation solutions range from very basic and closed, to extremely complex and technical.
Next Matter sits right in the middle with a simple no-code solution, allowing anyone to get their hands on the best process they want to build, without requiring IT support. Next Matter allows users to build, track, orchestrate, and execute complex business workflows. We’re not a database solution but can integrate with a third-party database.
Currently, we store data in the European Union. We don’t host data in other geographies at the moment but are prepared to do it for a certain deal size. For an overview of our hosting subcontractors, see Annex 4 of this page.
Next Matter is EU GDPR compliant. Our platform is hosted in Frankfurt, Germany by Amazon Web Services using data centers that meet global compliance standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2, and PCI DSS Level 1. For details on data security, see here.
Our Support team is there to answer any questions and address any issues you might have. You can reach the team by sending an email to support@nextmatter.com or by clicking the chat icon at the bottom-right of this page or any other page in the help center. The chat widget is also available on our website: nextmatter.com.

If your administrator has invited you, you can log in in one of the three available ways:
- Email address and password
- Sign in with Google (GSuite email address matching the email address of the invitation)
- Sign in with a Microsoft account
We can change the name and logo of your workspace, as well as any notifications that are sent from Next Matter to external users (see Assign a step to external user).
Get in touch with Next Matter Support to request the change.
Billing is automatically adjusted based on the number of users in your account. The demo and troubleshooting users that have the @nextmatter.com email address are not counted for billing purposes.
If you want to update your invoicing address, email address, or subscription plan, get in touch with Next Matter Support.
You can export your process and instance-related data at any time with our CSV export available in Data > CSV exports.
To export specific metrics, send an email to support@nextmatter.com and we will provide you with your data export within 48 hours. Be sure to include in your request the time period requested, and the metrics you are looking for.
The ability to view a workflow depends on several factors:
- The privacy settings of the workflow
- The privacy settings of the folder that the workflow is in
- Teams and users that are assigned to the steps in the workflow
We have a ready-made integration with Amazon Redshift. We also allow integrations with any third-party application that uses REST API.
Yes! You can integrate Typeform into a workflow by replacing the default Next Matter public form link with a Typeform link and sending back the collected data into Next Matter. This requires configuring a webhook that triggers when a form is completed in Typeform.
It’s best not to delete users immediately but to revoke their passwords first. If they had admin credentials, transfer them to a colleague. Set up Out of Office to reassign tasks before deleting users.
