To expand on Antoine's helpful answer: if you want to process the messages in your views module, rather than the template:

from django.contrib.messages import get_messages

def my_view(request):
    # Process your form data from the POST, or whatever you need to do

    # Add the messages, as mentioned above
    messages.add_message(request, messages.INFO, form.cleaned_data['name'])

    return HttpResponseRedirect('/other_view_url/')

def other_view(request):
    storage = get_messages(request)
    name = None
    for message in storage:
        name = message
        break
    return render(request, 'general/other_view.html', {'name': name})
