Error updating mongoDB document using Postman

I am trying to update a record from mongoDB collection using Postman.

This is the code I am using to do it.

// Update message with id (using a PUT at http://localhost:8080/messages/:message_id)
router.route('/messages/:message_id')
    .put(function(req, res) {
        Message.findById(req.params.message_id, function(err, message) {
            if (err)
                res.send(err);
            // Update the message text
     message.text = req.body.text;
            message.save(function(err) {
                if (err)
                    res.send(err);
                res.json({ message: 'Message successfully updated!' });
            });

        });
    });
//Updating A Message end.

Next, this is the URI I am typing in Postman to update (based on the id key): localhost:8080/messages/ObjectId("58ab37f9d23f991791490963")

Then I get this error message: enter image description here

I am trying to commit to a Bitbucket repository. What should I change in the URI to make the update valid?

You may want to drop the ObjectId part from what you are posting and just send the id itself then create an ObjectId on the server

localhost:8080/messages/58ab37f9d23f991791490963

router.route('/messages/:message_id')
    .put(function(req, res) {
        var id = new ObjectId(req.params.message_id)
        Message.findById(id, function(err, message) {
          ...
     })
