Know if signal is triggered from django admin

Question

I need to send a mail only when the model is saved from django admin, I was trying with sender.user.is_superuser but i couldn't find the specific method

Answer 1

You can't do this with a signal, but you can do it with your ModelAdmin's save_model() method.

For example:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.core.mail import send_mail

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
        super().save_model(request, obj, form, change)
        send_mail(...)
