Running scripts after object creation in Ruby on Rails

Question

I'd like to run a script that does some evaluation of user-entered data after it is successfully created. I have a model representing the data, but how do I specify that the model class should execute function X after an instance is successfully created?

Part 2: would it be more appropriate to put the code I want to execute in with the model or with the helper?

Thanks for your help :)

I believe you want an after_create callback in the model.
