No, you do not:
notify { 'a-message-from-our-sponsors':
message => my_function($the_data)
}
The potential issue is not about the means of computing the message, it is
about where the computation is performed, and a bit about when. In
particular, if the point of using a function is for it to use data or
software available only on the target node, or to modify the target node
directly, then the fact that Puppet custom functions are evaluated on the
master will render your plan inoperable.
Similarly, if you need the computation to be performed only after one or
more resources have been applied to the target node, then a Puppet custom
function cannot help you.
