Using generate next number IFTTT rule

This is the documentation for ConfiForms Server/Data Center app

However, this might also work for ConfiForms cloud and in most cases it does. But please see this page to understand the differences between server and cloud versions of the ConfiForms app.

This tutorial demonstrates how to setup and use Configuring ConfiForms IFTTT actions#Generatenextnumber IFTTT rule

We start with a very simple form, as usual - 2 fields.

Selecting the type from a dropdown
Numeric field to store the number generated by "Generate next number" IFTTT Rule

Each choice from a type field will have own sequence number

Storage format for the form:
