How do you access the Product Short Description in a WooCommerce email template? [closed]

I finally tried using var_dump() on $item and $_product, which are both used in the email-order-items.php template. $_product revealed a post object, which itself has a post_excerpt property, which looks like it holds the contents of the “Product Short Description” from the WooCommerce product form.

So, to add the description beneath the item name, I added this to my code:

echo '<br/>' . $_product->post->post_excerpt;

Voilà! The short description appears in the email!

Hope this helps someone else! Took me a couple hours of frustration to get it.
