You can program Access to do everything through the API. I have some subroutines that can save you time like getting the Access Token, encoding in base64, sending an SMS message and retrieving the responses which I'd be happy to share.

MS Access is not a RingCentral product so we are by no means experts on it. If you know how to shell a command line with MS Access, here is the command line command for you: 'open rcmobile://call?number=xxxxxxxxxx'. This command is for macOS. For Windows you might need to adjust it.
