I want to execute a command after a AUR package updated, so I wonder if a pacman hook will be triggered after the specified AUR package is updated by yay -Syu
?
Since a helper script generates a custom package and install it using libalpm you should be able to capture the action using a hook.
Place your hook in /etc/pacman.d/hooks
Read the manual on alpm hooks

So aur update is able to trigger pacman hook, right?
Since yay is pretty much only pacman in the background so yes. Example of a pacman hook which works post the install/upgrade of mycli
, a AUR package:
cat /etc/pacman.d/hooks/mycli-post.hook
[Trigger]
Type = Package
Operation = Install
Operation = Upgrade
Target = mycli
[Action]
Description = example
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/echo "mycli installed successfully"
