    Hello - I am creating a form for a fishing tournament. I am trying to assign each entry a specific boat number when they complete the registration form, starting at the number 1 and working up to the last registration. I would like to boat number to be emailed to them in an autoresponder email upon the completion of their form. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Fall,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant. I'll do my best to help you until someone from the support team is available.

    To assign a sequential boat number starting at 1 for each registration and include it in the autoresponder email, you can use Jotform's Unique ID widget. This widget automatically assigns a unique number to each submission. Then, you can add this Unique ID field to your autoresponder email so registrants receive their boat number upon form completion.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Best regards,
    Jotform Support

    Hi laurinburgfallball,

    Yes, this is possible using Unique Widget and customize email notification. Let me show you how to do it:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element on the left side of the screen.
    2. Under the Widgets tab, search for Unique ID, then select and add it to your form. Number assignment for each user who will submit the form Image 1 Screenshot 40

    You can customize the Number of Digits or the Current Index. Let me show you how to do it:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Gear icon of your Unique Widget.
    2. Under the General tab, you can now customize the current index and number of digits. Number assignment for each user who will submit the form Image 2 Screenshot 51

    Keep in mind that new fields you add will automatically be included in your email notification. Check out the result:
