Send email after attribute updated Rails

I would like to send an email to a user once the status of their pdform is updated. I already have some stuff written out on how I want this done.

In my pdform.rb model

after_update :sendemail

def sendemail
  if status_changed?

  end
end

I already have emails being sent out when the user creates a new form, however, I am not sure how to send an email in the model.

The controller has this mailer function that works correctly. How could I send this in this model?

NewPdform.notify_user(current_user, @pdform).deliver

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Still getting the hang of ActiveRecord.


Update:

In my pdforms_controller update method I have added the following variable.

update_user = @pdform.user

I added an attr_accessor in pdform.rb (the model)

attr_accessor :update_user
after_update :sendemail

def sendemail
  NewPdform.notify_update(update_user).deliver
end

And in my mailer 

def notify_update(user)
  @user = user
  mail(to: @user.email, subject: "some change occured")
end

I solved my own issue after using my brain more extensively.

In the call to the mailer function instead of passing the parameter of pdform, which is the name of the class anyways, just pass self. 

def sendemail
  NewPdform.notify_update(self).deliver
end
