 * Hi,
 * I’m using the pipes to add new posts as Drafts. Then I review and publish them.
   However, each time the cron runs, the latest posts are overwritten, my changes
   are gone, and they come back to Draft.
 * How can I avoid this?
 * Thanks!

 * Is there any option to import the posts only once? I mean, if the post already
   exist, do not overwrite it. Could it be possible?
