# WireBox Listeners We have already seen in our previous section all the events that are announced by WireBox, but how do we listen? There are two ways to build WireBox listeners because there are two modes of operations, but the core is the same. 1. Listeners are simple CFCs that must create methods that match the same name of the event they want to listen to. 2. If you are running WireBox within a ColdBox application, listeners are [Interceptors](http://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/content/interceptors/interceptors.html) and you declare them and register them exactly the same way that you do with normal interceptors. These methods can take up to two parameters depending on your mode of operation (standalone or ColdBox). The one main difference between pure Wirebox listeners and ColdBox interceptors are that the `configure` method for the standalone WireBox is different. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://wirebox.ortusbooks.com/6/usage/wirebox-event-model/wirebox-listeners.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
