Currently the `notify` attribute in pipeline configuration allows a conditional build status, [defined as](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/notifications#build-states):

> Build state can be one of `scheduled` , `running` , `passed` , `failed` , `blocked` , `canceling` , `canceled` , `skipped` , `not_run` , and `finished` . `finished` is a shortcut for a build of `passed` , `failed` , `blocked` , and `canceled` state.

When configuring notifications through the Web UI, eg. notifying by email, the conditions can include a “Recovered” status, which is very useful in reducing the noise of ongoing successful builds.

Would it be possible to add this “Recovered” status to the list of conditional build statuses available in the `notify` section of the pipeline configuration?

This is a good idea! I think we call this “fixed” within the current notification settings.

Hi @trammel, a `fixed` property is now available in notification conditionals, which will indicate the same as the “fixed” status we send in our own notifications. Hope that helps! 🙂
