If-Conditioncondition based on STDoutstandard output

I have few commands linked through pipes, and at the end is a conditional awkawk: example below

command1 | command 2 | awk '$1 > 800'

Now sometimes it will output few lines, and sometimes no lines. I want a condition that will prove true only if there's some stdoutoutput (1 or more lines) Is there a way to make it work?

Like,

if command1 | command 2 | awk '$1 > 800' (some output); then
do command3
Else;else; (blank output)
Do nothing
