Maybe reminder [Events](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/api/events/#schedule-a-reminder) can help you?

Thanks for your reply but I need to implement new events under rasa\_core.

Why do you need a new event for that? You could also use [Actions](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/core/actions/#proactively-reaching-out-to-the-user-using-actions) . You could do a fire-and-forget call in a custom action, which then triggers a certain action later.
