Not currently possible using the activities, but this is how that’d work if you were to use the UI:

Is it possible using API without using UI?

Can we automate it using API without using UI? Is there any particular reason that this activity is not included in existing SharePoint activities?

I think you can use the sharepoint scope to return a valid client context and then invoke some code that can create your list. The code would be similar to this: Create A Task List In SharePoint 2013 Using CSOM (this code creates a list from the task list template)

If you want to “clone” an existing list, code similar to this should be used sharepoint online - replicating the list with same fields but different list name using csom - SharePoint Stack Exchange
