New/Mode actions are iframes, so they're web pages that can be embedded and displayed within other webpages. You can embed an adovacy action without needing to do any extra coding.
Once you’ve created a campaign action, you'll need to embed the action's code on your website or a page created on your CRM to make the action accessible to your supporters. You can do this at any point during the action design process.
Once the code is embedded, all updates, tweaks, and dramatic overhauls you make to your advocacy action will be automatically updated, so you’ll see the changes reflected instantly on the associated webpage or CRM.
Note that Wix doesn't work well with iframes so New/Mode actions can't be embedded on Wix sites without customization on the Wix end.

A note on web page security
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for ensuring that all data passed between a web server and a browser is encrypted. You can recognize web pages that use SSL to keep data private because their URL begins with HTTPS. (More on HTTPS here).
Always embed your actions on SSL-protected web pages. If your website doesn't use SSL yet, you can use this guide to migrate it to HTTPS.
Finding your Action's Embed Code
Your campaign action embed code is accessible on the Embed Code screen under the Preview tab. Just copy and paste, or click Copy to Keyboard and paste the code on your website:

New/Mode advocacy actions are built using JavaScript, and can only be added to Business, Commerce, Enterprise, Creator or Entrepreneur plans on wordpress.com, and Blog wordpress.org pages. (Learn more about using JavaScript in WordPress here).
If you're on a Personal, Premium, Free, Starter, or Explorer plan on wordpress.com, you can create an action page to publish your action there instead.
If you are on a WordPress plan that you can easily embed New/Mode action code. Here's how:
1. Copy and paste your action's Embed Code into your page/post text editor. If you're using the Blocks editor, use the Custom HTML Block found under Formatting.
If you're using a wordpress.com page and are still not seeing the embed after this step, go on to Step 2.
2. (Only for wordpress.com pages) Add <script type="text/javascript"> before your New/Mode embed code. Then add </script> at the end of your New/Mode action embed code:
If you're still having trouble with the embed, try using the WP Code Lite plugin.
