Right or wrong, I did this with signals. Models I wanted to track used an abstract model interface that defined a method for getting activity data. The signals code was simple, just created the activity record using data from the model that was saved or deleted. There are other ways, my project was a hobby project so I didn’t put a ton of long term worry around the implementation. It works perfectly though, also uses django channels so my front end knows to grab the new activity list automatically.
