```plaintext
ERROR 2024-08-22T12:59:24.513Z c507f70b-94d8-4bed-b9ae-d926d66cd1a7 Failed to add comment, status code: 400 response: {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"comment":"Comment body can not be empty!"}}.

```

can you share your thoughts if anything i have mentioned wrong or missed anything  
**here is my sample request**

```javascript
 try {
    const response = await api.asApp().requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/issue/${event.issue.id}/comment`, {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify({
        comment:{
        body: "test comment"
      }}),
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      }
    });
  
    const responseBody = await response.text(); // Get raw text of response body
    console.log('Raw response body:', responseBody);
  
    if (response.ok) {
      const data = JSON.parse(responseBody);
      console.log('Comment successfully added:', data);
    } else {
      console.error('Failed to add comment, status code:', response.status, 'response:', responseBody);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error adding comment:', error);
  }

Hello @Dhurgeswari

You must format the **body** parameter of the comment using ADF, as shown in the example in the [Add Comment](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-comments/#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueidorkey-comment-post) endpoint’s documentation.
