How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs.

The problem it solves

When someone updates an API spec, your mobile and QA teams are often the last to know, and they keep building against a mock that no longer matches reality. You end up chasing down what changed by reading diffs by hand, and breaking changes slip through until testers hit a wall.

Who it fits

Engineering and QA teams that maintain API mocks alongside a live specification.

How it works

  1. Triggers whenever a new API spec is pushed to GitHub
  2. Refreshes the Postman mock server with the latest version
  3. Compares the old and new spec to spot every change
  4. Posts a summary comment on the GitHub pull request
  5. Emails the team a plain-English breakdown of what changed
What you get

Mocks that always match your latest API spec

Your Postman mocks stay current the moment your API spec changes, with a plain-English summary posted straight to your pull request.

What you get

A pull request comment and an email summarizing exactly what changed in the API.

What you need

A GitHub repository with Actions enabled, a Postman account, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
