How do I automatically create cards in a new list?

I want to set up automation so that whenever someone creates a new list in our board, five cards are added to that list, preferrably from a template.

Problem 1:

On the "create new card"-action, I have to specify which existing list the card should be added to. There is no option to add the card to the list that is being created by the trigger.

Problem 2:

There seems to be no option to make sure the new card is derived from a card template. I can only create new, blank cards.

So is this completely impossible?

Okay, one solution would be to create a "New list" board button.

Setup
Have a list called "Templates"

Put your template cards in this list

 

Automation Button

"Create a new list named "New" and copy all cards in list Templates to {listname}

 

Let me know if that helps, if not I'll go again

Thank you! I did not know I could write {listname}, that expands so much of the automation options!
