I suspect what you want is a post-save hook
<http://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extending/savehooks.html>
that calls nbconvert. For example:

import iofrom nbcovert import export, HTMLExporter
def script_post_save(model, os_path, contents_manager, **kwargs):
    """convert notebooks to HTML after save with nbconvert"""

    if model['type'] != 'notebook':
        return

    global _exporter

    if _exporter is None:
        _exporter = HTMLExporter(parent=contents_manager)

    base, ext = os.path.splitext(os_path)
    # your rename logic goes here
    html_fname = base + '.html'
    html, resources = _exporter.from_filename(os_path)

    with io.open(html_fname, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        f.write(html)

c.FileContentsManager.post_save_hook = script_post_save
