Sequelize afterCreate not firing

I am using Sequelize as an ORM with MySQL, Node and Express.

When inserting a new item to 'ExpertiseField' table, I want to update a field in a different table.

I'm having an issue with hooks in Sequelize, for some reason afterCreate appears to not do anything.

My 'ExpertiseField' model:

module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
  const ExpertiseField = sequelize.define('ExpertiseField', {
    name: DataTypes.STRING,
    type: DataTypes.INTEGER,
    position: DataTypes.INTEGER
  }, {
    classMethods: {
      associate: function(models) {
        ExpertiseField.hasOne(models.LocalDataLastUpdatedAtItem);
      }
    },
    hooks: {
      afterCreate: function(expertiseField, options) {
        sequelize.models.LocalDataLastUpdatedAtItem.update({
          updatedAt: expertiseField.updatedAt
        },{
          where: {
            name: 'expertise_fields_last_updated_at'
          }
        });
      }
    }
  });
  ExpertiseField.associate = function(models) {
    // associations can be defined here
  };
  return ExpertiseField;
};

the hook I'm creating isn't doing anything, any idea why?

Answering my question so maybe it helps someone from making my mistake in the future.

Apparently Sequelize hooks works inside the code only. When editing my table from a 3rd party SQL-Viewer program nothing happened and I thought something was wrong.. but when running my code everything worked fine.
