  I am trying to number Form submissions using an incrementing number that would display in Email Notifications.
  
  [Increment Plugin](https://github.com/boboldehampsink/increment) Field produces an incrementing number and would be ideal but it doesn't work because Freeform uses its own field type set.
  
  What would be the best way to generate and associate a unique number per form entry that could then be displayed?

  If you want to do this without creating a plugin, a "cheat" way would be to use the entry id of the submitted form - that would guarantee that you have a unique number and, assuming they are being saved to the same section, they would be in sequence.
