+Automatic sending of coredumps to Memfault
+==========================================
+
+To post a stored coredump from a previous crash to Memfault upon network connection, set the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MEMFAULT_NCS_POST_COREDUMP_ON_NETWORK_CONNECTED` Kconfig option to ``y``.
+The option is only supported for nRF91 Series devices.
+
+The library has built-in connection awareness and tries to post the coredump to a maximum of the number set in the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MEMFAULT_NCS_POST_COREDUMP_RETRIES_MAX` Kconfig option, at an interval of the time set in the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MEMFAULT_NCS_POST_COREDUMP_RETRY_INTERVAL_SECONDS` Kconfig option between each attempt.
+If unsuccessful within the number of attempts, the library gives up.
+If at any point the network is lost during the retry process, the library waits for the device to reconnect before restarting the retry process.
+
+This feature is useful when you want to post the coredump as soon as possible after a crash and it is not desirable to wait for the next periodic upload set by :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MEMFAULT_HTTP_PERIODIC_UPLOAD_INTERVAL_SECS`.
+Alternatively, you can manually trigger the coredump upload by calling the :c:func:`memfault_zephyr_port_post_data` function.
+You can use the :c:func:`memfault_coredump_has_valid_coredump` function to check whether a coredump is available.
