I was able to use Automate / Batch to resize multiple images to a specific size.

However it can only do 1 size at a time.

Is there a script that would allow me to batch different actions so they can be saved to 4x7, 5x7 so on and and save as corresponding names?

If you want makes duplicates of one action and adjust each one for a different size, use any of the same duplication techniques that work in other Photoshop panel lists, like either of these:

A. Drag the list item to the New button, and rename the duplicate it makes.

B. Select the list item, and then in the panel menu, choose Duplicate, and rename the duplicate it makes.

If you want to build one action that runs the other actions that create different sizes, you can also do that. Create a new action, and while that action is in Recording mode, play the other actions. When the parent action is played back, it will play the other actions in sequence.

If you want the steps for all sizes to be in just one action, you may be able to extend your existing single action. For example, after the action steps that resize an image to one size and exports/saves a copy, insert the command File > Revert. This will roll back the image to its state (and original size) when the action opened it, and then the action can run the steps for the next size.

If any of those work for you, you won’t need to write a script.
