Gravity Perks – Unique ID

Generate unique IDs (i.e. reference numbers, codes, invoice numbers, etc.) on submission for your Gravity Form entries.

What does it do?

The Unique ID perk provides a new €œUnique ID € field type which generates a unique ID for the entry when submitted. It supports several types of unique IDs including alphanumeric, numeric, and sequential.

Common Uses

• Provide a set-length confirmation or reference number for each entry; could be displayed on the confirmation page and in notifications (i.e. €œYour confirmation number is ABC142Z3 €).
• Maintain a sequential invoice number (a legal requirement for some countries)
• Generate a unique coupon code that can be used on subsequent form submissions (tutorial coming soon!)
• Generate a unique number for use in raffles

There are probably a hundred other ways this could be used. We would really love to hear how you're using it!

How does it work?

This plugin provides a new €œUnique ID € field type (available in the €œAdvanced Fields € group). When a form containing a €œUnique ID € field is submitted, a unique ID is generated and populated for this field. The ID is unique to the form and field. It's important to note that in order to guarantee that the ID is truly unique, the field is populated only after the form has been successfully submitted. Since the field has no value prior to submission, this field is not visible on the frontend.
