When you create a task from Zapier/Email to Marvin, you can use the # shortcut to specify what its parent category/project should be, e.g. #Work. But if you have multiple projects/categories called "Work", then Marvin doesn't know exactly which one you mean and just chooses one.

If you want to target a particular instance, you can use its unique ID directly. In order to find this, first ensure the Deep Links strategy is enabled, then hover over a category or project with your mouse and click the Anchor icon (you may have to click the ... to expand these buttons) to copy the deep link:

If you don't see this button, configure your "Right-click menu" or "Hover button actions" strategy settings to add the "Copy deep link" action to your menu.
