hello team,

I am trying to setup a workflow on ansible tower, where the first Job templates will create inventory during run using meta: refresh inventory feature and then I want the second template in workflow to use that inventory.

I also read the best practice doc which says:

Instead, use a workflow with separate inventory refresh steps.

[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/3.3.1/html/userguide/best\_practices.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/3.3.1/html/userguide/best_practices.html)

Is that possible? if so how?

thanks  
Rich
