How to Apply 3D inflate effect using JavaScript for Illustrator?

I have been trying to find if it possible to apply the inflate (Effect -> 3D and Materils -> Inflate) effect using javascript. I have many files that I would like to automate this effect.Is this possible?

If there is no straightforward way, how can I go about it to create a way to inflate these .ai files that I have?

Using graphic styles (possibly as part of an action) would not be an option, would it?

@Kurt Gold Thank you very much for your reply and suggestiopn. I did not know of graphic styles, I jumped straight to extendScript... But I looked into it and it seems like the best option.

 

The only issue I am getting is that I save the graphic style, but then I cannot run it in my action... It records the application of the graphic style, but nothing happens to my image. I have saved it as "Inflate Test 1", but it does not run in an action...
