Fix the wording of a Postman collection comment
For API teams who want to correct a comment on a Postman collection by asking their AI assistant, with the old and new text side by side.

Connector
Connect Postman, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
One careless edit wipes the whole comment
Fixing a comment on a Postman collection means finding it among every thread, and an edit replaces the whole text, so a careless change can wipe what was there. Postman only lets the author edit a comment, which you may learn only when it fails.
Without PopdockAI
- Scroll every thread on the collection
- Retype the whole comment to change one line
- Lose the original text by mistake
- Find out it was not your comment when the edit fails
With PopdockAI
- The matching comment is found, with a choice if several match
- Its author is shown, with a warning if it is not yours
- Current and new text are shown side by side
- It updates after you confirm and reads the comment back
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** Change the text of the comment on collection `{collection-name}` that contains `{comment-search}` to `{new-text}`.
**Step 1: Find the comment**
Call `postman-get-collection-comments` with `collection-name` = `{collection-name}` (fall back to `collection-name.contains`) and `comment.contains` = `{comment-search}`. Keep collection-uid, comment-id, thread-id, comment, created-by and created-at.
If more than one comment matches, list them (comment-id, author, date, first 80 characters) and ask which one. If none match, say so and stop.
**Step 2: Check authorship**
Postman only lets the author edit a comment. Show who wrote it. If it plainly belongs to someone else, warn that the update will likely be rejected and ask whether to continue.
**Step 3: Confirm, then update**
Show the current text and `{new-text}` side by side. Only after the user confirms, call `postman-update-collection-comment` once with `collection-uid`, `comment-id` and `comment` = `{new-text}`.
**Step 4: Report**
Re-read the comment with `postman-get-collection-comments` filtered by `thread-id` and show the stored text, or show the error the update returned.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* `postman-update-collection-comment` replaces the whole text. Never send a partial edit; send the full new text.
* Do NOT call `postman-add-collection-comment`. This prompt edits, it never posts.
* One comment per run.
**Validation:**
* If `{new-text}` is empty, ask for it and stop; never blank a comment.Who it's for
