You have several options you can use here.
1) Write a script which takes those files and generates the "inventory file" format that ansible uses. Then run that script on a cron job or something after all the uploads take place.
2) Write a script which generates output format complying with the Ansible inventory JSON format, and use it as such: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/plugins/inventory/script.html
3) Use the add_host task type as the very first task in your playbook (with a localhost host) with a loop to add the hosts.
add_host:
name: " item.hostname "
groups: " item.group "
with_items: " somehow inject your list here "
