+## Trigger on saves
+Since sending websocket updates upon saving models is something we often need, there is a 'shortcut' for this.
+If you set `push_websocket_updates_upon_save` to `True` in a model, it will automatically send websocket updates whenever it is saved or deleted.
+
+```python
+class Country(BinderModel):
+    push_websocket_updates_upon_save = True
+    name = models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=100)
+```
+For instance, whenever a `Country` is saved, it will trigger a websocket update to `auto-updates/country` with `data = country.id`.

 ### Trigger
 
 `binder.websocket` provides a `trigger` to the high_templar instance using a POST request. The url for this request is `getattr(settings, 'HIGH_TEMPLAR_URL', 'http://localhost:8002')`. It needs `data, rooms` as args, the data which will be sent in the publish and the rooms it will be publishes to.
