What? We'd agreed to see each other next Saturday!
Hein? On était convenus de se voir samedi prochain
Why is être d'accord not a possibility?

Bonjour Kristen,
In French, you would not say "on était d'accord de se voir..." to express "having made a plan" . You would tend to use être convenu or avoir décidé in this context.
These 2 expressions don't have the same meaning:
- "être convenu de [faire]" means "to settle on a plan / make a mutual arrangement"
- "être d'accord" means "to share an opinion / to consent or be willing"
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
