Rails send model update email when a submodel is created

So I have two models:

class ModelA < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_many :model_b
end

class ModelB < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :model_a
end

When ModelA is created, the controller sends an email:

if @model_aA.save
      Emailer.delay.new_model_a(@model_a.id)

And if it's edited:

if @model_a.update(model_a_params)
        Emailer.delay.edit_model_a(@model_a.id)

However, if the edit is the creation of a modelB object, the edit email isn't sent. It sends if a modelB owned by modelA is edited, but not if it is created.

How would I change this behaviour?

In general you can use model callbacks for that. You don't need to call the mailer methods on the controller but in an after_create/after_save/after_update hook for example.

http://apidock.com/rails/ActiveRecord/Callbacks/after_save

class ModelA < ActiveRecord::Base
  after_create { |instance| Emailer.delay.new_model_a(instance.id) }
  after_update { |instance| Emailer.delay.edit_model_a(instance.id) }
end

class ModelB < ActiveRecord::Base
   after_create { |instance| Emailer.delay.new_model_b(instance.id) }
end
