What would be the email format to create a card in a list that shows a label colour, due date and any other custom fields?

@Vantage_Production the format for label colour is like this:

Here is the subject #green

you can assign a member like:

Here is the subject #green @iaindooley 

However if you want date or any other custom fields etc. you'll need to use Butler, for example to set a value on a custom field you could do something like this:

This would mean you could email things like:

Do this thing @iaindooley #green next Monday 

and the card would be set due next Monday, assigned to iaindooley, and get the green label added.

Yep, I've already read this page, but it does not explain properly how to do it.

Should I type in the subject:

xxxx#red

xxxx #red

xxx #labelred

How exactly should be the format of the subject line?
