Is it possible to set up a conditional statement that evaluates across multiple views?

For example, something like this:

IF: View 1 results = >0 AND View 2 results = >0 then do: ACTION

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Yes - this is possible.

For both of your view - you can choose the loop output format "List with separators" as well as checkmark the checkbox "Disable the wrapping DIV around the View" available with both of your view.

Please check the following screenshot:

Then, just empty out the views loop something like as given under - where we are using [wpv-found-count] shortcode to return the number of posts found:

[wpv-layout-start][wpv-items-found][wpv-found-count]<!-- wpv-loop-start --><wpv-loop></wpv-loop><!-- wpv-loop-end -->[/wpv-items-found][wpv-no-items-found]<strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>[/wpv-no-items-found][wpv-layout-end]

More info:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-found-count

Later use the [wpv-conditional] shortcode:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-view id="999"]' gt '0' )" AND '[wpv-view id="888"]' gt '0' )"]
both views are NOT empty
[/wpv-conditional]

where:
- Replace the 999 and 888 with your view IDs
