Post process after save

I want to do several things after saving a record, eg.

update another table according to the latest update
send email notifications, etc
then redirect to another place

I've done the 1st step in actions/actions.class.php then I realized that if I want to do them all, that's not the best place.

What's the best place for such post processing? what are the recommended approaches for above post processing?

PS.

I've created a file:

apps/my_app/modules/my_mod/templates/saveSuccess.php

but it isn't used at all.

hmm, seems that

the last step should be done in actions.
all the rest should be done in model.

Yes, I think you are right. If the update and email are to happen when a particular table is saved, then you should extend the model. Redirections however are, as you say, best executed from the action and not the model or the template.
