Different redirects on form submit in a Django view

Is it possible to redirect to a page or another when sending a request.POST in a Django view, depending on which button has been used?

Example:

<form id="myForm" action='?'>
    <submit button1>
    <submit button2>
</form>

and then in my view:

if request.method == "POST":
    if form.is_valid() and button1:
        form.save()
        return redirect('page1')
    if form.is_valid() and button2:
        form.save()
        return redirect('page2')

You may try this:

html

<form>
    <input type="submit" name="button1">
    <input type="submit" name="button2">
</form>

Views.py

if request.method == "POST":
    if form.is_valid() and 'button1' in request.POST:
        form.save()
        return redirect('page1')
    if form.is_valid() and 'button2' in request.POST:
        form.save()
        return redirect('page2')

Yes. Give your submit buttons the same name but different values

<button type="submit" name="submit" value="button1">Button 1</button>
<button type="submit" name="submit" value="button2">Button 2</button>

Which button was clicked will then be available in request.POST

if request.method == "POST" and form.is_valid():
    form.save()
    if request.POST['submit'] == 'button1':
        return redirect('page1')
    elif request.POST['submit'] == 'button2':
        return redirect('page2')

I've solved it like so:

    <input class="button" value='update' type="submit" name="action" form="eventForm"/>
    <input class="button" value='submit' type="submit" name="action" form="eventForm"/>

And then in the view:

if request.POST['action'] == 'submit':
[...]
elif request.POST['action'] == 'update'
