I have custom PHP scripts to adjust the confirmation and notification messages.  
However, it is takes a little time to run through validation, custom script and saving the data.

I’m using AJAX form submission and I want to display a message on screen after the submit button has been clicked.

Any suggestions on ways to do this using the GF hooks?

You could customize the ajax spinner image and its position using the following filters:

> **[gform\_ajax\_spinner\_url](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_ajax_spinner_url/)**
>
> This filter can be used to change the default AJAX spinner image

> **[gform\_spinner\_target\_elem](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_spinner_target_elem/)**
>
> Use this filter to modify the element after which the AJAX spinner will be inserted for AJAX-enabled forms.

You can also add a custom onClick event to the submit button to call your own custom script when the button is clicked: [https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform\_submit\_button/#4-append-a-javascript-action-to-the-button](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_submit_button/#4-append-a-javascript-action-to-the-button)
