Gravity Perks Unique ID Plugin

Gravity Perks Unique ID Plugin adds an identifier to each form entry when it is submitted. It is aimed at sites that need a reliable reference for customer enquiries, registrations, surveys, or other submissions, particularly where Gravity Forms is already part of the workflow.

What it adds

The plugin focuses on one practical job: producing a unique value for every submission. Instead of asking staff to identify an entry by its date, submitter, or position in a list, a form can carry a dedicated reference that is easier to quote and recognise.

The available identifier styles cover different administrative needs. A numeric sequence suits straightforward ticket or reference numbers, while an alphanumeric value gives a less predictable-looking code. A sequential format is useful when entries need an ordered numbering scheme. The important distinction is that the ID is generated as part of the entry process rather than added manually afterwards.

Useful form controls

Configuration is built around the form rather than a separate reporting interface. The feature list points to several controls that make the generated value usable in a real submission flow:

• Generate a unique ID automatically when an entry is submitted.
• Choose between alphanumeric, numeric, and sequential values.
• Customise the format of the identifier for the form’s needs.
• Use conditional logic to control when an ID is generated.
• Show the resulting value in confirmation messages.
• Include the ID in emails sent to users.

That last group matters because an identifier is most useful when the person who submitted the form can see it too. A confirmation containing the reference gives the user something specific to retain, while an email can carry the same value into the site’s normal correspondence.

Reference handling

For a business handling enquiries, a registration list, or survey responses, the ID provides a shared label for an entry. Staff can refer to that label when discussing a submission, and users can include it in later correspondence. Conditional logic also gives administrators a way to avoid generating the same kind of identifier for every path through a form.

The Gravity Forms connection is the clearest use case in the supplied information. The plugin is described as integrating with popular form plugins, with Gravity Forms singled out, so it belongs in a form-led workflow rather than as a general-purpose numbering tool for WordPress content.

Where it falls short

The first trade-off is scope: this is an entry-ID feature for forms, not a broad reference-management system. Sites looking for order numbers across several unrelated data sources, a searchable ID directory, or a dedicated reporting screen will need other tools or custom work.

The second is that the copy confirms customisable formats but does not explain the available format tokens, prefix rules, reset behaviour, or how numbering behaves when entries are removed. Those details matter when an ID becomes part of an operational process, so administrators should clarify them before relying on a particular numbering scheme.

There is also a design choice around visibility. Showing an identifier in confirmations and emails is useful for tracking, but it also puts an internal reference in front of the submitter. That is appropriate for customer-facing reference numbers, less so for values intended only for staff.

Who should use it

Gravity Perks Unique ID Plugin suits administrators who need every form submission to receive a recognisable reference without building that process themselves. It is a focused fit for enquiry forms, registrations, surveys, and similar entry-based workflows where the ID needs to appear in both the site’s response and its email correspondence.

It is less suitable as a standalone record-management solution. Choose it when the form entry is the source of the identifier and the main requirement is consistent, configurable labelling. Before putting it into a process that depends on strict numbering rules, confirm the format and sequencing behaviour that the project requires.
