Entry ID on the front end seems to be the same as Lead ID from the database. It was what I was looking for, sequential. I didn't realize it was already built into the notification interface. That makes it so easy. </p> <p>Steve </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-lead-id-to-notification-email#post-45933 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:59:11 +0000 centilin 45933@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p> I had a similar request a couple of days ago, and there are generally 2 options depending on what you want:<br /> - Sequential, use the entry ID for that. Entry ID is unique across the entire installation (you won't find entry no.2 for form 1 and form 2). I've opt to use that and the variable shortcode you should use is {entry_id} I believe.<br /> - Unique, generate a random ID. I've simplified an old function (that exists somewhere in the forum)<br /> <pre><code>function uuid() { $char = md5(uniqid(rand(), true)); $uuid = substr($char, 0, 5); return $uuid; }</code></pre> <p>This returns a 5 digit unique ID (made up of letters and characters), but there are chances of collision though.</p> <p>Angela </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-lead-id-to-notification-email#post-45902 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:50:09 +0000 stvwlf 45902@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi</p> <p> I need to return a unique ID on notification emails on submissions from one form. Lead ID seems workable for that. ( I realize when multiple forms are in use there will be gaps in the sequence #;s returned - that is acceptable ). One reason lead is good is its already associated with that submission's database record.</p> <p>How would I get Lead ID to appear on notification emails?<br /> Or, do you have a better suggestion on getting a sequence number on notification emails?</p> <p>thank you </p>
