custom destroy/edit functions in rails active admin

Question

I'd like to add some custom code to the destroy and edit default actions in active admin. Essentially, when I edit or delete a member, I want to sync that action with a copy on an external database.

I could either do a redirect to a custom method to do that then redirect back to the index, or create my own action in place of the default actions I could call.

Is there a better way to do this? preferably by just modifying the active admin destroy and edit functions?

The example overrides create, but you can do the same with update and destroy.
