How to display success message using the Contact Form plugin

Question

Kind of feel silly having to ask this but I cannot for the life of me get a success message to display after the redirect when the Contact Form submits.

I just am not sure how to call it in the template view.

I have tried various things like this:

{% set success = craft.config.get('successFlashMessage', 'contactform') %}

{% if success %}
  <div class="resp"><h3>{{ success }}</h3></div>
{% endif %}

But just cannot seem to grab it.

I did look at the documentation on Github and was not able to find it.

You can see in the code for the plugin on GitHub that it sets a 'notice':

craft()->userSession->setNotice($settings->successFlashMessage);

As the official documentation mentions, this can later be grabbed with the following code:

{% set message = craft.session.getFlash('notice') %}

Then used as a normal message thereafter.

{{ message }}
