+### Example (conditional creation)
+
+Sometimes you need to have a way to create Cognito User Pool resources conditionally but Terraform does not allow to use `count` inside `module` block, so the solution is to specify argument `enabled`.
+
+```
+# This Cognito User Pool will not be created
+module "aws_cognito_user_pool_conditional_creation" {
+
+  source  = "lgallard/cognito-user-pool/aws"
+
+  user_pool_name = "conditional_user_pool"
+  enabled = false
+
+}
+```
+
 ### Example (complete)
 
 This more complete example creates a AWS Cognito User Pool using a detailed configuration. Please check the example folder to get the example with all options:
