Medusajs 2.0 coding tutorial: How to create order confirmation email with Resend (part 2)

In this video we are implementing a order confirmation email in the medusjs 2.0 backend, by first identifying the correct backend event, hooking into that event by subscribing to the event reference. We then use the event payload data to look up the order, items in the order, address and name of the customer. And finally we compile all this information into a nicely formatted email template body, and send it with the Resend integration, that we setup in part 1.
