In fortiauthenticator I imported local users, and user got email URL to set password, is it possible to send to user random password through email or SMS when import local user?

If the password is going to be the same for each account, then this will work, right now it will go through each user and apply the password. But if you also have unique passwords for each account, then a for loop would be a better option I think. It would allow you to go through each of the files getting the same count.

As explained here: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortiauthenticator/6.5.0/administration-guide/250231/local-users

If you set the password on the imported file, FAC will assume that the users already know that password and will not send any email. If the optional password is left out of the import file, the user is emailed temporary login credentials and requested to configure a new password.

Thank you for your reply, Is it possible to send login credentials through sms instead of email?

For now only email is supported for passwords management, I don't think it's possible via SMS.
