Need help with a PS action

I've done some testing with creating images for Instagram. 

My best results to avoid image cropping and quality loss is to create a 1080 X 1080 canvas and PLACE embedded photo onto the canvas.  Both vertical and horizontal images now show up with either two white bars either side or top and bottom.  I'm fine with that.  I just want my 2:3 ratio pics to display with no crop. 

I then "Save for web" as a 1080 square pic. The image quality is very good, IG doesn't wreck the picture. 

 

I would like to create an action that will save that file with the filename of the embedded image...NOT as Untitled-1, Untitled-2, etc.  

How can I accomplish this? 

Thanks for any ideas!!

Record File > Automate > Fit Image with 1080 px for both width and height.

 

Then record canvas size using 1080 px on both width and height.

 

If you search the forum there are many topics with actions and scripts for square images.

 

EDIT: Here is an example from another topic, in your case, you don't need the first trim step.

    I must have done something wrong with your technique as this didn't accomplish what my technique did.  The image looks like a 4x6 with a mat that is most of the image...and it didn't turn out square, dimensions are now 1800 x 2160.
    2nd image is my action.  It posts larger and no crops...and image size shows 1080x1080 you won't see the white space on the pic...but you will see white bars on the IG grid.  I can live with that.

    I'd need to see the action steps fully expanded to comment further, but if you have a result that works for you that is great.

      I think I figured out an easy way to do what I need: 
      Open image, resize to 1080 on the long side. 
      Change canvas size to add however many pixels it takes to make up the shortage of 1080. 

      Just need to make an action for vert and for horizontal images.

      ...make up the shortage on the short side that is. 
      If image is 1080 x 720 when I resize...I change canvas to Height +360 pixels.
