@rashmibharambe Thanks for trying out Akto, In your test, you have concatenated the request multiple times, which will not work in actual graphql request, In one request you can send one "query" or "mutation",

such as "mutation { query1, query2, query3 .... } "

multiple mutations needs to be wrapped inside single mutation query, thats why your test won't work. you can check it yourself in graphql playground available online.

@shivam-rawat-akto I have made the changes to append multiple queries. Also referred hasura graphql playground, query is working with append as you suggested -

@shivam-rawat-akto Can you please review this

[shivam-rawat-akto]

Hey @rashmibharambe, saw your changes, you will have to extract the mutation query from request payload to concatenate also can you please test it out yourself if your test works?
