It is possible to override the save() method in a model to add functionality: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#overriding-model-methods
Another choice would be to register a receiver for the pre_save or post_save signals: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/instances#what-happens-when-you-save https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/signals/ Either method can be used, the choice depends on your desired architecture. I prefer overriding save() for changes to the model itself or its related models (as in this case), and signals less related features (for example sending an email).
