+### Passing a tag to not rely on manual tag pushes
+
+If you want to create a tag automatically and create the release in the same workflow you can set CREATED_TAG to achieve this.
+This allows you to create a fully automated release in one workflow file (workaround because one workflow/action can not trigger another workflow/action).  
+The example below uses `K-Phoen/semver-release-action` to create the tag whenever a pull request is closed, merged, and the head_ref starts with RC.
+After the tag is created it is passed to the create-release-action via the CREATED_TAG env variable using the output of the semver-release-action.
+
+```yaml
+on:
+  pull_request:
+    types: closed
+
+jobs:
+  build:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
