Hello

My Mautic version is v3.3.4 (and we are still working on it, although we are planning to migrate to version 5)

I have a question and a small need.

After completing a simple form, I would like the user to receive a unique number generated, e.g. F4g8sj3 in e-mail.

How to do it?

Which field may be responsible for generating such a number?  
I do not want another number in the form of 10001, 100002 or the actual ID of a given report.

Thank you for your help.

Hi, you can do it by using custom form actions plugin:

You use the twig syntax to populate customer fields based on form entries. In other words you can use the twig syntax to create unique ID and save it.
