Run Powershell script when an Item is being published

Question

I'm trying to do implement some logic while a particular template item is getting published. To implement this logic I started exploring the Sitecore Powershell's Event Handlers. For the events like item:added, item:copied events I'm successfully able to get the output for the events, but for the Publish event like publish:begin, publish:end I'm not able to get any output from the result.

Below are the steps which I've followed to enable Sitecore Powershell events.

1. Created the Patch file for Spe.Event.config

  <sitecore role:require="Standalone or ContentManagement" security:require="Sitecore">
    <events>
      <event name="publish:begin">
        <handler type="Spe.Integrations.Tasks.ScriptedItemEventHandler, Spe" method="OnEvent" />
      </event>
      <event name="publish:end">
        <handler type="Spe.Integrations.Tasks.ScriptedItemEventHandler, Spe" method="OnEvent" />
      </event>
      <event name="item:added">
        <handler type="Spe.Integrations.Tasks.ScriptedItemEventHandler, Spe" method="OnEvent" />
      </event>
      <event name="user:created">
        <handler type="Spe.Integrations.Tasks.ScriptedItemEventHandler, Spe" method="OnEvent" />
      </event>
      <event name="publish:startPublishing">
        <handler type="Spe.Integrations.Tasks.ScriptedItemEventHandler, Spe" method="OnEvent" />
      </event>
    </events>
  </sitecore>
</configuration>

2. Then I've created a module by following these steps, created Event Handlers with the help of this article
3. When I tried for the first time it was not successful and found out the solution here but when I try the same for Publish events it's not working

Can some please assist me to figure out what mistake is being done here. Thanks in advance.

As mentioned by Michael West, the enable checkbox is not checked. You need to activate it for the events to triggered.

Select the item Events and you will see a section named Module Activation. Check the enabled checkbox. Below is a screenshot.
