Is there a AppleScript or otherwise(since I couldn’t find in TapForms) to automate exports of records for a given form / database?
I would be attempting Keyboard Maestro to achieve the same but will love if someone has already solved this problem.

There are a few posts on Keyboard Maestro and AppleScript on the forum that you might be able to check into for inspiration. Maybe even Automator might help depending on precisely what your use case is.
If you’re looking to do proper automation, I’d suggest setting up CouchDB and using the sync to that to automate from. I’ve got a set of PHP scripts that provide various mechanisms for grabbing data from CouchDB and putting it elsewhere.
Thanks Sam for quick revert, I will check the forums and also CouchDB integration.
Also Sam, if you are a participant like me , or working with TapForms?

I’m an end user of Tap Forms, Brendan is the sole developer of the product. I’ve certainly bugged Brendan a lot over the years and use a bunch of features that are perhaps more power user orientated.
I really appreciate you answering questions here Sam. You’ve been a great help over the past many years. And hopefully I’ve done an ok job adding some of the more power features you’ve requested.
In fact Prashant, you can actually thank Sam for me adding the scripting engine into Tap Forms as I think he was the one who originally requested it.
Yes! You’ve done a great job of a bunch of features that I heavily use, scripting being the biggest and CouchDB sync being the other one I asked for back in the day with the innocuous statement of “Cloudant seems like CouchDB” I think :D I think answering a bunch of question is the least I can do :D
