Gravity Forms Unique ID

Gravity Forms Unique ID

Gravity Forms Unique ID is a powerful add-on (available via Gravity Perks by Gravity Wiz) that automatically generates a unique, customizable ID each time a form is submitted. This ID can be used for tracking, referencing, coupons, tickets, order numbers, and more.

It is especially useful when you need to assign a unique reference code to each submission in a secure, automated, and tamper-proof way.

Key Features of Gravity Forms Unique ID

1. Automatic Unique ID Generation

   • Generates a unique value for every form entry upon submission — no duplicates.

2. Customizable ID Format

   • You can define:

     • Length of the ID

     • Character type: Alphanumeric, numeric only, or custom charset

     • Prefix and Suffix: Add static text before or after the ID (e.g., ORD-12345-Z)

3. Sequential or Random

   • Choose between:

     • Sequential IDs (e.g., 1001, 1002, 1003…)

     • Random IDs (more secure and less predictable)

4. Reference Use in Notifications

   • Use the generated ID in email confirmations, admin notifications, or merge it into post content.

5. Supports Conditional Logic

   • Trigger actions or show fields only when certain ID formats or prefixes match.

6. Database-Level Uniqueness

   • Ensures uniqueness even across high-volume submissions, thanks to DB-level validation.

7. Use with Other Fields

   • Combine the unique ID with other field values to create advanced reference numbers (e.g., {First Name}-{Unique ID}).

8. Hidden Field Option

   • Typically used as a hidden field so users never see or change it, but it's accessible in entries and emails.

9. Supports Multi-Form Use

   • Can generate unique IDs across multiple forms while keeping them globally unique or scoped per form.

10. Security & Anti-Spam Utility

    • Can be used as an anti-abuse token or validation mechanism in custom workflows.
