The first new feature is an **optional custom error message**. Before, TestingBot sent the error message received from Selenium to your e-mail or phone (SMS text message). Now, you can specify a custom error message for your alerts and use variables like `%test_name%` or `%browser%`, which will then be sent to your e-mail or phone. The second new feature is an **optional recover notification**. When enabling this, you'll get notified through e-mail or SMS that a previous failed test is now successful. Should you have more ideas on how we can improve our TestLab, please [let us know](https://testingbot.com/contact/new).
