How to integrate Django API Sign Up with Wasp

I have a standalone Django Rest API that has its own Sign Up and Login process and all that. I'm trying to make it so that when a new user is created in wasp and added to the prisma database, a post request is made to my Django API's User Create endpoint, so that I can create a user there as well. This will let me make authenticated requests to the API for other endpoints and purposes.

However, I can't figure out how and where to add my code for the Django request. I could potentially modify the wasp LoginandSignupForm itself, but I'd rather not modify that code.

If I were to just create an action to make this request, how would I incorporate that into the signup page, since the Signup Form component can't be modified directly in the SignupPage.tsx. 

import { SignupForm } from 'wasp/client/auth';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
import { AuthWrapper } from './authWrapper';

export function Signup() {
  return (
    <AuthWrapper>
      <SignupForm />
      <br />
      <span className='text-sm font-medium text-gray-900'>
        I already have an account (
        <Link to='/login' className='underline'>
          go to login
        </Link>
        ).
      </span>
      <br />
    </AuthWrapper>
  );
}


I'm just completely lost on this and have spent around 8 hours trying to figure this out. If anyone has any suggestions that would be really helpful.
