# App proxy requests include new parameter for the logged in customer ID

The customer ID for logged in customers is now included as a parameter in the forwarded query for [app proxy](https://shopify.dev/apps/online-store/app-proxies) requests. The customer ID is passed in the `logged_in_customer_id` parameter. The parameter will be blank if no customer is currently logged in.

**Tip:** Make sure that your application is [verifying the `signature` parameter](https://shopify.dev/apps/online-store/app-proxies#calculate-a-digital-signature) of forwarded queries.
