Welcome to the Community Forum @anon10931247!

It’s currently not possible to add custom fields when you create the task emailing to Asana. you can upvote for this feature here: [Parse emails to populate custom fields - #3 by Jeremy\_Levy](https://forum.asana.com/t/parse-emails-to-populate-custom-fields/74697/3)

As a workaround, I’d recommend you using our [Forms](https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/forms) feature and when you submit your form and select all your fields, the tasks will be created including the custom fields.

I hope this helps, have a nice day! 🙂
