 ## Define a listener

+Execution listeners can be configured per BPMN element within a process. There are two types of listeners:
 
-- Start: Invoked before the element is processed. Useful for setting variables or executing preconditions.
-- End: Invoked after the element is processed. Useful for executing cleanup or post-processing tasks.
+- **Start:** Invoked before the element is processed. Useful for setting variables or executing preconditions.
+- **End:** Invoked after the element is processed. Useful for executing cleanup or post-processing tasks.
 
 Each listener has three properties:
 
-- `eventType` - Specifies when the listener is triggered (start or end).
+- `eventType` - Specifies when the listener is triggered (`start` or `end`).
 - `type` - The name of the job type.
 - `retries` - The number of job retries.
 
 ## Implement a listener
 
-Execution listeners are a special kind of [job worker](/components/concepts/job-workers.md). They are based on the same concept of jobs and use the same protocol. You can implement a listener in the same way as a regular job worker. See the
-[job workers documentation](/components/concepts/job-workers.md) for details.

+### Execution listener
+
+An execution listener is a mechanism that allows users to execute custom logic at specific points during workflow execution. Execution listeners can be attached to BPMN elements to react to lifecycle events, such as when an element starts or ends. This feature facilitates pre-processing and post-processing tasks without cluttering the BPMN model, functioning similarly to job workers by leveraging the same infrastructure.

 ### Exporter
 
 An exporter represents a sink to which Zeebe will submit all records within the log. This gives users of Zeebe an opportunity to persist records with the log for future use as this data will not be available after log compaction.
