To run the hook, copy the example below.

// run the action 
do_action( 'update_{$meta_type}_meta', $meta_id, $object_id, $meta_key, $meta_value ); 

The following example is for adding a hook callback.

// define the update_<meta_type>_meta callback 
function action_update_meta_type_meta( $meta_id, $object_id, $meta_key, $meta_value ) { 
    // make action magic happen here... 
}; 
         
// add the action 
add_action( "update_{$meta_type}_meta", 'action_update_meta_type_meta', 10, 4 ); 

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

// remove the action 
remove_action( "update_{$meta_type}_meta", 'action_update_meta_type_meta', 10, 4 );
