   This hook is pretty useful in case you need to perform some stuff after an automatic update gets completed by WordPress. I personally spent a lot of time figuring out how to deal with this feature, especially because I didn’t know what kind of data the $update_results parameter contained.

   So, here’s a working example of how you should use this hook.

   /**
    * Fires after all automatic updates have run.
    * Completes the update scheduled in background.
    *
    * @param  array  $results  The results of all attempted updates.
    *
    * @since  3.8.0
    */
   add_action( 'automatic_updates_complete', 'wpdocs_auto_update_complete' );
   
   function wpdocs_auto_update_complete( $results ) {
   	// the list of plugins is contained within the "plugins" attribute
   	foreach ( $results['plugin'] as $plugin ) {
   		// make sure the plugin slug matches the one assigned to your own plugin
   		if ( ! empty( $plugin->item->slug ) && '{plugin_slug}' === $plugin->item->slug ) {
   			/**
   			 * @todo Plugin found! Do stuff here...
   			 */
   		}
   	}
   }
