Guest SSID - email permission?

We have some FortiAP's set up with our FortiGate, and a few SSID's assigned around.  The last SSID to be created is for guests.

 

One of the things that I enjoy about Cisco Meraki access points is the ability to require guests to get permission from an employee via email.  After joining the guest SSID, they would be thrown to a captive portal that would require them to enter their name & the email address of an employee.  The email address would be required to match the company's domain(s) (etc *@mycompany.com).  The employee would receive an email with links to approve or deny guest access.  This allowed a measure of security and responsibility, without being a burden on IT to authorize each guest.

 

So... is there anything like this available with FortiAP ?  

 

(We are not looking to collect guest email addresses, or create accounts for guests in our Fortinet environment.)

 

Thanks!

It looks more a FortiNAC Thema to me. More into it can be found on this external link which I found very useful when working with FortiNAC. https://www.andrewtravis.com/blog/2024/03/15/fortinac-for-guest-access-using-a-captive-portal

@Demir25 

Appreciate the solution.  But, I do not believe additional equipment or appliances are an option for this project.
