Using "Ask to Buy" in Apple Family to approve. What if the family organizer does not own an Apple device?

If the "Apple Family Organizer" does not have an iOS device, is it possible to login to Apple Family via a web browser or Android device? Perhaps there's a way push the approval through email or get the notification through another app like Apple Music?
