 * Hi [@edgarwebstudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edgarwebstudio/),
 * Great question and it’s totally do-able, but may sound a little complicated, 
   depending on your experience.
 * In general, here’s how I’d approach it:
    1. Have the customer fill out a form
    2. They click the submit button, which in addition to submitting the form, also
       triggers a script or service that auto-generates your number or code.
    3. Merge the on-demand code into your form notification.
 * Personally, I use a commercial form plugin that is not available on WordPress.
   org, but the feature you’ll need should be available in many major form plugins.
 * You’ll want a plugin that contains ‘hooks’ that you, or your developer, can tie
   into when the form is submitted.
 * If this sounds like Greek, I understand. This is either something you’d accomplish
   with a custom or pre-built add-on for a form. I’m not aware of anything like 
   this but honestly have never looked for it.
 * I did some quick searching for “[auto-generate number form submission wordpress](https://www.google.com/search?q=auto-generate+number+form+submission+wordpress&oq=auto-generate+number+form+submission+wordpress&aqs=chrome..69i57.1787j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)”
   and found several threads you might find helpful.
 * Here’s a free plugin on WordPress.org that ties into a commercial plugin (same
   one I use) that seems to do what you need:
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/gf-mc-unique-id-generator-field/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gf-mc-unique-id-generator-field/)
 * You should be easily able to find a developer that can help you with this if 
   needed.
 * I hope that helps!
    Eric
