I'm building an app with Drupal 8, I need to be able to get a start date input from an admin user, use the date to generate  a 12-month calendar pdf with specific reminder dates, and send emails using the reminder dates. 

My initial thought is to build custom module, get the start date using hook entity presave, and use inline entity form to attach reminder dates so I can create views with it later.

Any suggestions or pointing me to the right direction would be appreciated, thanks guys.

Mentioned requirement is not very generic. Developing a custom module is a good idea.

Thank You,

Thanks Shashwat. I'm not sure how to create multiple child node when the parent node is saved. Does anyone know how to do this in Drupal 8?
