Add same mask to multiple layers

This is my first post so first of all I would like to say Hi to all of you wonderful people!

I have a problem that I hope someone of you will help resolve.

Let me explain the situation.

I have 108 layers to which I want to apply a mask that I've prepared earlier (same mask to every single layer).

After that I want to export these layers as separate images (JPG) with a certain background color (F8F8F8).

Is there a way to automate it?

Dont want complain too much but I have 1500 images in one

set that I did manually and I feel like a robot after a while of working like that...

Would appreciate your support!

best,

Lukas

Another option is to record the creation of making the mask into an action, then use a script to play the action over selected/all layers.

//	I pretty much copy-pasted everything from NinjaScript's script,
//	added couple funtions from "ES-Collection/Photoshop-Scripts/Remove Unused Layers.jsx" on GitHub,
//	and edited it all to work in Photoshop 2020 :)
//	Also added option to choose what type of layers you applying to.
