How to automatically assign some information for a registree

    Hello everyone,

    I’m an administrator for a page that belongs to university’s department. I have this section where we ask our students to register in order to receive a software code that they can use to download it. The registration is required because we need to check before issueing the code if it’s really a student who is asking (the limits of the licences we have).

    Untill now, I used to manually copy the information that students provide via registration form into my excel sheet, assign a code and reply to the e-mail that the registration form creates. This started to be problematic when I am abroad or away from the office or internet connection and students need the software urgently for their tasks. Therefore, this got me wondering, maybe there’s a plugin or a way to automate this process? Have any of you had a similar issue?

    I was thinking maybe there could be a way for simply just checking whether the student is real and either accepting the request or denying it. Then the algorithm could take a next code from a list I could provide in a simple text file or something similar.

    A bit of info about our website:
    The form students fill in: https://www.hkk.gf.vu.lt/studentams/esri-arcgis-programine-iranga/ (it asks for name and surname, e-mail address, University’s ID number and a short description of their need for the software, what will they use it for).
    Plugin for the form – Visual Form Builder.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    How many types(number) of software codes are there ? On what criteria you are assigning a code to student ?
    Is that code changing for every student or some pattern is there for that, say we have 5-6 software codes and that are provided to students as per their need ? Based on that you can alter the wp_mail function and can send that code to student.
