If the problem isn’t immediately apparent, Google recommends visiting the Help forums for assistance. Webmasters will need to have email forwarding turned on to get these new notifications by email.

Google also recently added CNAME verification, a structured data dashboard, and crawl errors, including site errors and URL errors.
