I want to build this in apple automator, but I can't find any information about this.

Also I want to put a map action that photoshop wil combine multiple images and align them.

I hope someone can help me find something.

I think you are talking about the following add-ons, as Apple Automator does not have these as standard:

Photoshop ships with a script the does what you want to do?  Menu File>Scripts>Load Files into Stack...

Its Dialog UI looks like this.  Its written in JavaScript nor Apple script works on both platforms.

If you know scripting you could program that automation, For example you could  modify my PasteImageRoll process a folder of images on a timed schedule or trigger it with some signal that the folder should now be processed.  Bypass the script dialog and Change the interactive select files section to process your folder of images and add a save as into your output folder to the script and empty the source folder.

My Photoshop Photo Collage Toolkit contains a script  written in JavaScript  PasteImageRoll.jsx that can Tile your image files onto a canvas Paste Image Roll
