An EmailEventListener is used to listen for events and set up a [EmailEventHandler](/current/core/reference/core-plugins/email-plugin/email-event-handler#emaileventhandler) which
defines how an email will be generated from this event.

```ts title="Signature"
class EmailEventListener<T extends string> {
    public type: T;
    constructor(type: T)
    on(event: Type<Event>) => EmailEventHandler<T, Event>;
}
```
