Hi @hptarora

If your application requires any specific logic to create node based on certain name you can use that else you can generate node name using UUID:

UUID uuid = UUID.randomUUID();
String nodeName = uuid.toString();

Now all the form values can be stored as a node property in the node so it will be something like below:

Thanks!

Hi,

you can encode an email to get a unique node name and use that as a node name.

Its not a best way to create node names with email ids. you can create node and then set emailId as property in the nodes.
