Let me be more specific to my needs: Here is my example AutoSearch model: name = charfield uuid = uuid query = charfield autos = m2m updated = boolean emailed_on_update = boolean emailed_on_new = boolean
Here are my needs: * updates to this search send the user an email * the user needs to know which autos were updated * new autos email the user * the user needs to know which autos are new Questions assuming 1000 users. * Should this be a cron? * should I add two more m2m's to autos 1 for new autos and 1 for updated autos? or is there a better way to keep track for the user? Thanks.
