If do how can I automate it. I have broken my system twice after updating the kernel.
yay should take care of any needed action as far as I know. The question is, why your system got broken after updating a Kernel? Usually that should not happen, unless there is something special going on. I update my system by just running yay and after certain updates such as a Kernel or other critical things, just restart the system. I use Kernel modules as well (for a gamepad in example and previously I had Nvidia GPU too) and never had a problem with that either.
What Kernel do you have? I personally use the newest Kernel and the LTS as backup. If something breaks on the new Kernel, then at least I can go back to the old LTS version, unless the system broke otherwise (only happened to me when I forgot about the fstab and a replaced disk drive).
I am using paru instead. Will it do the same?
This is very vague. Do you have some logs to show us? What did you do to fix it the first time? what is your computer spec’s what is your DE/WM?
yes is the short answer
personally after an update involving a kernel update I only run the reboot command
I just reinstalled since the computer had no important data so I can’t give system info for that system but I can give it for this system

the system info is neither here nor there at this point since you did a reinstall.
check for log files before going nuclear next time 
most issues can be fixed
Glad your back up and running however so do enjoy. Please marked the thread as solved
After installing or updating a kernel, you need to create an initramfs for it and the bootloader configuration needs to be regenerated or updated. By default, EOS has tooling set up to take care of this automatically, but it is possible you made some changes to the system which disrupted this functionality. Installing or uninstalling certain packages would do it.
