See below and refer to the section "Alert emails" almost at the bottom. I thought it was in GUI as well but the doc says it's available in CLI.

Hello @yeowkm99 

I understand that you are trying to configure the email alerts for FortiGate.
Please refer this document which has detail explanation of settings for email alerts.

The default has nothing enabled. You need to enable something.

FortiGate-70F (setting) # show
config alertemail setting
end

enabling source-ip did the trick.

i managed to test since my firewall is over ipsec tunnel at remote site.
