Django signals
--------------
Webhooks are triggered through signals emitted for new tickets creation and ticket follow-up updates.
The two existing signals are:
- new_ticket_done
- update_ticket_done
You have the opportunity to listen to those in your project if you have post processing workflows outside of webhooks.
```
from helpdesk.signals import new_ticket_done, update_ticket_done
@receiver(new_ticket_done)
def process_new_ticket(sender, ticket, **kwargs):
"Triggers this code when a ticket is created."
pass
@receiver(update_ticket_done)
def process_followup_update(sender, followup, **kwargs):
"Triggers this code when a follow-up is created."
pass
```
