Combine AWS CLI and CloudFormation?

I'm creating a new user pool in AWS Cognito. As you might know, CF support is missing for a lot of the features in Cognito, so I´ve resorted to using the CLI for Cognito. But I still want to use CloudFormation for other resources like API Gateway that will need to reference the new user pool.

Is there any way I can create parameters with the CLI that I can use in CloudFormation?

Yes, if you have Parameters in your template, then you can use the CloudFormation Deploy command to do exactly this.

For example, you can call aws cloudformation deploy --template-file <file_path> --stack-name <stack_name> --parameter-overrides ParameterKey1=ParameterValue1 ParameterKey2=ParameterValue2 ... where <file_path> is the path to your CloudFormation Template, and <stack_name> is the name of your CloudFormation Stack. If this stack doesn't exist yet, Deploy will create it, but if it does exist, Deploy will update it.
