@MasterOdin Thanks for clarifying this. I was under the impression that emailing travis was an optional method to enable debug build and the other method was to use the API.

@smac89 the easier route is (if you're able) to temporarily make the repository private and then go to Travis CI -> Settings -> Sync account (need to smash that button a couple of times to register your intent).
The Debug Build/Job button should then be available.
