Hi Tega, Nice to meet you and apologies for the delay in getting back to you,
Signals are both the best and worst. Yes, they'd "solve" this problem. Though so would overriding the model's save method or the admin's save method. But the issue I find with them is that because they are decoupled from the model in a year, or the next dev, someone won't have a clue why an email is being sent or how to troubleshoot it. My general guideline for using them is as a last resort. They are the lazy way of solving problems but will almost always cause different problems in the future. Also you now have to be keenly aware of the circumstances where signals don't fire, also signals in my case will block the thread as the number of subscribers is big, Please let me know if you have different point of view, i am not dismissing any opinions the management command is already written by another developer and i am trying to leave as few footprint in the code as I can, I am not even sure if it is the right way to go about this. Will let you know how it pans out if you want.
