How do I archive LISTS that are older than 3 months?

I have my To Do Today list, with automations to change the title at the end of the day to the date, so I have a record of what I did each day.

Now the board is full - I need to be deleting old daily lists.

How do I automate deleting lists over a certain age?

All the results I get from online searches talk about archiving cards.  I am specifically asking about lists.

Thank you.

Archiving a List is done by pushing the "..." Button on the list and choose "Archive This List" (Second from the bottom)... I do not know of an automation that can do that via an automation (other than code via the API)

That being said you say "The board is full", but not the specific error message but guess it tell you that you can make more list for the board, and if memory serves me right archiving lists will not resolve that error message.

So instead of archiving you might be better off moving the old lists to a new Archive Board, or treat your current board as the Archive and Create a new board for continued operations (good opportunity to clean up old stuff and have better performance on the most used current board)... Drawbacks is setting up the new board if there are lots of automations and customizations and if you have a board-limit

Yes, currently archiving lists manually using the "..." is the way I have ben having to do it.

The actual message is "You are approaching the limit on the number of visible lists you can have on a board. Please remove any lists which are unnecessary." Archiving old lists does clear space and remove that warning.
