-----------------------------------------+------------------------------
We need to provide a post_save_action hook in ModelAdmin in order to
perform additional actions after saving the object. This feature will be
useful if we are sending webhooks, notifications, etc. Overriding
ModelAdmin.save_model() is not possible if a m2m field is there.

{{{
def post_save_action(request, obj):
"""
Hook to perform an action after the 'Save' button has been pressed
when adding a new object.
"""
pass

...
self.save_model(request, new_object, form, not add)
self.save_related(request, form, formsets, not add)
self.post_save_action(request, new_object)
}}}

The method should call after the ModelAdmin.save_related() is completed.

Comment:

Hi!

Feature requests require discussion on the Django Forum
(https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DevelopersMailingList) first where
more people will see the request and an appropriate discussion can be had.
Having said that it's unlikely to be accepted as the admin isn't intended
to be a universal app platform.

Also check out the signals to see whether this is appropriate for your
needs: https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DevelopersMailingList

If you want further help on this, please seek help from one of our
friendly communities: https://www.djangoproject.com/community/

Comment (by Mariusz Felisiak):

Also, `post_save` signal already exists and we don't want to add redundant
`contrib`-specific signals.
