Hi,

I have a basic plugin to store user contacts data in db with back-end forms for create/update and list, all configured with fields.yaml . and I want to extend the create/update controller functions to send an API call to 3rd party app with posted data after models been saved in octobercms.

Not sure what is the best way to achieve that in backend forms, need your advices.

I'd rather recommend to use Model events. In your case, you could use afterCreate and afterUpdate.

However, it is also possible to override controller actions. This is also documented.
