    I would like my employee to open a form and give me information, submit it to an existing google doc and send a predefined number back to the person entering the data. 


    Example:

    Form asks for a date, a location and a price  user enters info hits submit and populates to a pre numbered row on a google sheet and sends that number back to the person who submitted the data  is this possible?

    Send form submissions to Google Sheets is possible: https://www.jotform.com/help/228-How-to-Integrate-Forms-with-Google-Sheets

    However, picking up a value from a Google Sheet and putting it into an autoresponder is not possible. If you want to generate custom unique IDs per each submission, please follow this guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/79-How-to-Add-Custom-Unique-IDs-to-your-Form-Submissions 

    The ID will be included in the autoresponder. Let us know if you have more questions.

    Is there a way to make the auto response unique number a set number? Like the 1st one that goes out would be number 1 and the 2nd would be 2 etc...? Or are they random numbers?

    When you add "Unique ID" widget in form, it will generate sequence number and not random one. 

    I would suggest you to please go ahead and try it out the widget and get back to us if you have any questions.
