Gimp does not have a macro function, nothing like PS actions.

The Template is for making a new size canvas with some settings.

The usual advice is write your own plugin/script, and that is a real put-off for
a beginner.

There are plugins that are a little easier to script. There is one gmic, which
provides several hundred filters, where you can easily save preset values or
wrap several filters in a script.

Not an easy subject on this type of mailing list forum.
