hello bro thanks for the video, but i have a doubt, I made a mock server such that when it receives a date time API the server need to dynamically send the API date time response.
here i have updated the request body with :


}

pre-request script:
const moment = require('moment');
const currentDateTime =
pm.variables.set('currentDateTime', currentDateTime);


reponse body:
{
"status": "success",
"date-time": "0000"
}

bro does this wrk, what change should be made.hope u respond:)

automation thru postman explained very nicely. Appreciate your efforts for making this series of usefull videos.

I have a challange where I need to send checksum in every request. And check sum calculated on payload size. How I can send this checksum value automatically in every request.

The payload is in json format. Example payload:
(I have logic to generate checksum, but I need to calculate and replace it before sending the request. Can I automate this calculation in postman?? )


{
"type": "people",
"id": "42",
"attributes": {
"name": "John"
}
"user-limit": 4,
"checksum": 211856345
}

Here checksum calculated for the below json payload first, and then added checksum.

{
"type": "people",
"id": "42",
"attributes": {
"name": "John"
}
"user-limit": 4
}
