To hide the success message until after the form submit in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Select the form element: Start by selecting the form element on your Webflow design canvas. This can be done by clicking on the form element or navigating to the Navigator panel and selecting the form element there.
Access the Form Settings: Once the form element is selected, you can access the Form Settings panel by clicking on the "Settings" gear icon in the top-right corner of the Designer toolbar.
Configure form submission settings: In the Form Settings panel, you'll find various options related to the form submission. Look for the dropdown menu labeled "Success state" and select the appropriate option. Usually, there are three options: "Message", "URL", and "None".
Select "None" for success state: Choose the "None" option from the dropdown menu. This will ensure that there is no visible success message immediately after the form is submitted.
Customize success message element: If you want to display a success message after the form submit, you can add a text element or any other element to the form and style it accordingly. By default, this element will remain hidden until you manually show it using interactions or custom code.
Add interactions (optional): If you want to show the success message after a delay or when certain conditions are met, you can add interactions to the success message element. Webflow's interactions allow you to create dynamic and engaging animations or effects based on various triggers and actions.

By following these steps, you can hide the success message until after the form is submitted in Webflow. This provides a more seamless user experience and allows you to control the timing and appearance of the success message based on your specific requirements.
