Impossible to save "Export As" in "Actions"

I would like to automate people overlays on photoedits (like for create front page of magasine) to do this I tried to follow tutorials on "Actions". But when I record my photomontage process which consists of:
--> Import the photos (Raw) of one subject on a green background between my background and the text in the foreground.
--> Remove subject background.
--> Repeat the process on 4 worktops.
--> Export the 4 artboards in JPEG.

The problem the action of exporting the 4 artboards in the form of 4 JPEG files does not register in the tasks saved actions.

I contacted the support but apparently the "export as" action cannot be saved in the actions which is incomprehensible.

One people could help me ?

Actions and scripting

You can try built in script Export > Artboards to Files which can be recorded as action step.

Use Save For Web.

Export has never been possible to Action. It's one of the major shortcomings and hopefully they'll get around to fixing it eventually.

Apparently having Export As/Quick Export available to Actions and Scripting is on the "to-do list".

In the meantime, there are many Scripts that can be used to export artboards to files, including a default one that ships with Photoshop or others that don't require the use of a GUI which may be easier to use in automated workflows.

Ok thank you. If you know a GUI names that can do the same thing please share them. So the last solutions give by D Fosse and Bojan worked for me. Thanks again.

This is not a Developer's question so I have moved your post to the Photoshop forum and tagged your post for Actions.
