+### Sending a GraphQL request
+
+By setting `services[].graphql` to true, the body will automatically be wrapped by the standard GraphQL `query` parameter.
+
+For instance, the following configuration:
+```
+services:
+  - name: properties
+    url: http://localhost:8080/playground
+    method: POST
+    graphql: true
+    body: |
+      {
+        user(gender: "female") {
+          id
+          name
+          gender
+          avatar
+        }
+      }
+    headers:
+      Content-Type: application/json
+    conditions:
+      - "[STATUS] == 200"
+      - "[BODY].data.user[0].gender == female"
+```
+
+will send a `POST` request to `http://localhost:8080/playground` with the following body:
+```json
+{"query":"      {\n        user(gender: \"female\") {\n          id\n          name\n          gender\n          avatar\n        }\n      }"}
+```
