The minute = as soon as possible
So for example: the minute you get your grades back you plan on showing your parents
—•—
In your sentence, I'm not 100% sure what you're asking but you dont need to mention the future because its applied in 'the minute'
'We will tell you as soon as we get the results'
=
'We will tell you everything the minute we get the results'
