-### PersonForExternalServiceEvent
-
-Some integration services may need to fetch a person from an external API with a
-`\Dbp\Relay\BasePersonBundle\API\PersonProviderInterface`, for example:
-
-```php
-$person = $this->personProvider->getPersonForExternalService('SOME_SERVICE', $userId);
-```
-
-To implement such a fetch process from an external API this event can be used.
-
-An event subscriber receives a `\Dbp\Relay\BasePersonConnectorLdapBundle\Event\PersonForExternalServiceEvent` instance
-in a service for example in `src/EventSubscriber/PersonForExternalServiceSubscriber.php`:
-
-```php
